Malware on the fediverse? (kbin.run)

Hey all, I'm fairly new to the Fediverse.

I'm just wondering what is preventing mallard from being shared on Lemmy, K.Bin, etc. via images or other embeds? Is there some file vetting happening under the hood?

Hopefully you're not using an image reader that's shitty enough to have vulnerabilities like this 🤨

@Synthead Chrome?

I wouldn't worry about Chrome having vulnerabilities in its image readers.

I would say that a zero-day for chrome would be far too valuable. Except you're the target of an entity that has a few millions to spare.
